Welch (10-4) is coming off a submission win over Eric Regan, after being tapped out by Michail Tsarev at Bellator 74, in September, 2012.

Here is the updated line-up for Bellator 113, which will be hosted by the Kansas Star Arena.

Bellator has confirmed that another UFC vet will make his debut at the promotion’s November 2nd “Rampage vs. Tito” card, as lightweight Terry Etim will fight Patrick Cenoble. The upcoming event, which will be hosted by the Long Beach Arena, will feature former UFC light-heavyweight champs “Rampage” Jackson and Tito Ortiz fighting in the headliner.

Etim (15-5) will make his Bellator debut having dropped back-to-back bouts versus Renee Forte and Edson Barboza in the UFC.

“I’m excited to get back into the cage and do what I do best, fight,” Etim said in a press release from the promotion. “Bellator has continued to grow and to be part of the organization and be part of the first PPV is a huge honor, and I’m pumped to be able to showcase my skills on such a big stage. November 2nd is going to be a huge night.”

Cenoble (9-2-1) made his Bellator debut in March and fought Tony Fryklund to a split draw.

Here is the updated line-up for the November 2nd card, which will be Bellator’s first PPV event.
